The land offers exceptional qualities, a chalky-clay soil and an optimum microclimate confer unbeatable quality to the grape varieties that we grow.

2020

20 hours cold maceration and fermentation at 16ºC. 2020, a vintage that has resulted in wines of great quality. The difficult spring gave way to a somewhat rainier than normal summer, followed by a September with cooler temperatures. The grapes arrived at harvest time in very good health, with ideal phenolic ripening. The red wines show balance, good structure and aromatic potential
